So I guess Britney was left out because she was too obvious a choice to be inducted?
I agree with the Bey/Rihanna bit. Bey's had little influence like Rihanna, but she's got the vocals to back anything else up she does. Rihanna is just so hit-and-miss.
Beyonce will obviously be inducted that's a no brainer....she will receive every veteran award ever when she finally retires, every award show will honor a tribute to her and some of your faves will be seen singing her hits....
well they have to get eligible first and that's still a ways away for all of them, especially Adele.
then they have to wait and see if the panel will nominate them. THEN they have to wait to see if they make the final induction ballot and most artists especially if they're pop and/or female do not get in the first year of eligibilty. Madonna's quick induction was an anomaly and exception.
